    The circuit summary is as follows: 1) The circuit is a low-cost stereo peak indicator for audio signals that uses a 4093 Schmitt trigger integrated circuit for fast response times. It holds the peak levels detected. 2) When audio signal peaks cause one Schmitt trigger output to go high, a capacitor charges through a diode, slowly discharging through a resistor. This creates a fast attack and slow decay to indicate even very brief peaks. 3) The circuit requires a supply voltage between 5 and 15 volts and uses just one integrated circuit, making it inexpensive to build. It will accurately detect peaks in a stereo audio signal.

    Symmetric Output
    for USB Audio DAC 026
    H. Sommen

    This simple adapter circuit is specially intended for use with


    C14 R11 K1
    the USB Audio DAC published in the December 2000 issue IC2.A 68Ω 2
    R12
    of Elektor Electronics. With an easily implemented modifi-
    220k

    1
    cation, it is possible to make the output of the D/A converter
    R11a
    pseudo-symmetric, so that it can be connected to profes- 3
    68Ω XLR
    sional equipment having XLR line inputs. This will do even
    more justice to the high quality of the USB Audio DAC.
    The modification actually amounts to just adding a single
    014053 - 11
    resistor (R11a) and changing the value of the existing resis-
    tor at the output of the audio DAC (R11) from 100 Ω to 68 Ω.
